Notes About The Poem

These are not photos, these are people :(

Tears Falling From Heaven

 My Tears falling


I
Have lost
My
Mind

Why?
Why?
Why?
		Am I blind?
Are the Generals blind?


Gandhi can save the world
						or try
		Buddha may offer you zen words

I
Am falling
			of what use am I???

Monsoons 

			Flooding heart ache

Lyrical angels I demand you show me the way


			Humbly I beg of you all


I
Who has lost my mind
				Can I not

Save those two

			For my heart but weeps

	For all the little ones

When?
When?
When?

Will we save the children?

Your words floor me just as the stark reality and savagery heaped upon those innocent children beings forth rage in my heart. This is as old as mankind my friend, the lust for wealth and power that brings such calamities. A7 on this great poem and the message it spreads!

Its often more complex than that, over 300,000 killed in Syria, never mind Iraq, in both Countries there is a genocide against Christians, and the the world just watches. Very sad
